| PolysacDB ID | 1263 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Glucomannoprotein (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Glycoprotein |
| Microbe | Candida albicans serotype A (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | N/A
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Glucomannoprotein-rich antigenic extract (GMP) |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab AF-1 |
| Antibody type and class | IgM |
| Assay System | ELISA, immunofluorescence and slide agglutination tests |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacted with C. albicans serotypes A and B, C. tropicalis, C. guilliermondii and C. viswanathii, but did not cross-react with C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. kefyr (pseudotropicalis) and T. Glabrata |
| Proposed epitopes | The epitope was proposed to consist of mannan residues |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab had strong agglutination properties for Candida species. This Mab helped in the identification of new polysaccharide epitopes on the cell wall of pathogenic Candida species. |
